Chapter Seventy-One: The Taiwanese Navy Officer at the Dinner

[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site.]

After eating the traditional dinner of the nobility at Giselle's house, Fan Wuxian no longer had any thoughts about the banquet in the evening.

It's just that the embassy has repeatedly requested, he has to deal with it, by the way, I also know the French dignitaries, this kind of large-scale order, any government is willing to get involved with you, after all, generally speaking, there are such large-scale purchases of customers, there will be a certain amount of purchasing power in the future, in order to develop long-term relations, it is necessary to appropriately strengthen contacts.

"Sister, why are we working for him? Is it just for the salary of two million dollars a year? Adriana, dressed in a black evening gown, tugged at her skirt that had slipped down a little, and said to her sister Giselle with some complaints.

"At least that's our first full-fledged job, two million dollars each, and we have a little money left over for our daily expenses." Giselle was wearing a red evening dress, the style was the same as that of her sister, and if the two swapped places, it was difficult for outsiders to tell which was the older sister and which was the younger sister.

The dinner was held at the Palace of Versailles, which shows how much attention the French government attaches to this business negotiation.

In addition to French dignitaries, there were also foreign envoys and business leaders, and even relatives of the Sultan of Brunei and the royal family of the Kingdom of Cambodia.

In addition, there are a lot of children like them, all in all, the hall is full of handsome men and beautiful women, which makes people feel that this place is really luxurious to the extreme.

Everywhere Fan Wuxi's eyes looked, there were shining jewelry, and the reason why this was the case was mainly because the men couldn't arouse his interest.

The executives of Fan's Investment Group formed a small group with Fan Wuji. And the two sisters, Giselle and Adriana, accompanied Fan Wuxian one on the left and one on the right, not leaving an inch, but the images of the two of them were a little weird.

Although they wore evening dresses, Fan Wuxian asked them to wear wide sunglasses, which were the same type of sunglasses used exclusively by agents.

So it's very eye-catching. But as soon as they saw Fan Wu's Chinese face, as well as his pomp and circumstance, and the young and fearful age, not many people dared to come forward to greet him.

"Who is this man? How does it look untouchable? "A lot of people are secretly asking about this maverick Chinese young man.

Hearing everyone's discussion, Dolby couldn't help but say to Sanchez beside him.

"The boss is very good at creating gimmicks. *****”

"I was surprised that he was suddenly no longer keeping a low profile." Sanchez shrugged his shoulders and said.

Dolby replied,

"Because the foundation of his career has become a scale now, he doesn't need to pretend to be a grandson anymore." Sanchez thinks about it.

That's really the case, Fan Wuxian was relatively low-key in the United States earlier, because it was too easy for him to make money, he got money from the financial securities market, and later returned to China, and he started various projects, worried that because of his young age, he would cause trouble for his career.

So it also kept a low profile. And now. Undertakings are already on the right track, and even large strategic transport planes from Ukraine have been brought back.

There is no need to pay attention to any mystery and low-key, such a big thing comes out. Coupled with this $2 billion aircraft purchase order, it is impossible to keep the mystery unobtainable, it is better to show your own appearance generously, and it can also calm many people.

At least at this moment, the foreigners in the hall were a little intimidated by Fan Wuxi's demeanor and began to study his origins.

Foreign President François Mitterrand and Foreign Minister Roland Dima were also present, and they were also a little surprised when they saw Fan Wuxi, but obviously their intelligence sources were more rapid, and within a few minutes, someone whispered to them, and while looking at Fan Wuxi, both of them showed expressions of sudden realization.

\\\\\

"This is a very important guest, and he is also the main guest of our banquet tonight, so you must receive it well later." Foreign Minister Roland Dima instructed the French personnel in charge of the banquet.

On Fan Wuxi's side, someone finally came to greet him, but he was personally accompanied by the ambassador to France and brought over the place, with relatively yellow skin, and he looked like a Vietnamese, but Fan Wuxian couldn't imagine that the Vietnamese and the ambassador to France would stay together, after all, our relationship with the Vietnamese is still not good.

"Mr. Fan, this is the envoy of King Sihanouk of Cambodia, I heard that you are here, you must come over to say hello." The ambassador to France explained to Fan Wuxian.

"I don't dare to do this, thank you!" Fan Wuxi thanked him and greeted this person with some confusion.

He couldn't think of any reason why the Cambodians were so close to him. When I knew that the other party talked about it, I remembered that incident, he had transfused blood for a princess in Cambodia, and the people of the royal family in Beijing knew about it at that time, and since then, he has been very concerned about Fan Wuxi's matter, this envoy is also a royal family, so he knows that Fan Wuxian is sick.

\\\\\ then a few people chatted, and then they learned that Cambodia had decided to restore the kingdom in September, and Prince Sihanouk would officially become the king of Cambodia.

Fan Wuxian nodded, the French seem to have settled well in their colony, although it has been Cambodian for many years, but when it comes to Cambodian affairs, it is still impossible to avoid the French, after all, France is also one of the five permanent members of the United Nations, with an important position and veto power.

"You talk, I'll take a look. Inside the Palace of Versailles, it is still worth visiting. Fan Wuxian didn't want to hang out with this enthusiastic Cambodian royal family here, so he found an excuse to leave.

After the group left the envoy, Adriana said to Fan Wuxian with some surprise,

"I didn't expect that you also have dealings with the royal family, it seems that they respect you very much." Although Giselle didn't ask, he also kept looking at Fan Wuxi, and he really couldn't understand how he was different from others.

Fan Wuxian smiled slightly, but did not answer. Let them guess. When he walked to the north, Fan Wuxian suddenly saw a group of people, all Chinese faces, but listening to them, it was Taiwanese Chinese accents.

\\\\\ there was also a man in a navy uniform.

"Where did this group of people come from?" Fan Wuxian felt a little strange. The heart said, could it be that on such occasions, Taiwanese naval officers would also be seen?

Isn't this a banquet organized by the Chinese and French sides? How could this happen? So Fan Wuxian ran back again and told the ambassador what he had seen.

The ambassador's face was a little unsightly, but after thinking about it, he said,

"Forget it. It's not the best strategy to kill them all, and it's okay to be able to explain the past in a big way, but I still know a little bit about the origin of that group of people. ”

"Oh? Can you tell me about it? Fan Wuxian asked a little curiously. The ambassador was a little reluctant to speak.

However, Fan Wuxian is not an ordinary person, so he told the reason for it.

"Relations between the West and China have been tense since the events of four years ago, and in April 1991, French Foreign Minister Roland Dima visited China. As the highest-ranking official of the French government who visited China after the turmoil, we gave him a very high standard of reception, and Sino-French relations are also being restored. The ambassador said to Fan Wuxian.

"I can't think of it. At a reception hosted by French Ambassador to China Marten for Duma's visit to China, Roland Dima suddenly raised with us the issue of France's intention to sell frigates to Taiwan. We were all shocked. Because a year ago, Roland Dima put forward a guarantee that France would never sell arms to Taiwan! At the time, Roland Dima said.

Along with the changes in the international situation, various countries are also adjusting their policies on the Taiwan issue. France believes that the time is ripe to do business with Taiwan and is ready to cooperate with Taiwan on projects such as environmental protection, sewage treatment, high-speed trains, and frigates.

He explained that France intends to sell frigates to Taiwan for two reasons: First, the frigates are defensive, not offensive.

Second, the United States has already sold four frigates to Taiwan, and France, as a sovereign country, should not be discriminated against on such issues.

The United States cannot be allowed to take advantage of it and make a fortune alone.

"This seems to be more convincing---- Fan replied with a smile.

"The situation was very strange----," the ambassador said to Fan Wuxian with a frown,

"There was only a short period of one month between the time they put forward the motion and the arms sale was concluded, and the whole thing felt very strange."

"This doesn't need to be asked, French government officials have collectively taken bribes." Fan Wuxian knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, and this incident also made his memory resonate a little.

It seems that I remember that several Taiwanese naval officers died mysteriously at this time, and one of the slogans before A-bian came to power was this arms sales fraud case, as if it was the Lafayette arms sales fraud case?

So Fan Wuxian asked,

"They sold the warship, is it a Lafayette frigate?" The ambassador nodded,

"This matter has not been reported in China, after all, it is a scandal. But we called that warship the Lafayette frigate, and the Taiwanese called it the Lafayette frigate. Fan Wuxi glanced at the Taiwanese naval officer who was talking to the French over there, and his memory became clear, and then he said,

"What's this foreign minister's name, Roland Dima? He and many government officials took bribes, and the arms dealers finally knocked on the French government by paying a large amount of bribes to the Taiwan military and French government officials, so the matter was done. ”

"How can you be sure that Roland Dima has taken bribes?" The ambassador asked, somewhat curious.

"It's very simple----" Fan Wuzhi said,

"The French foreign minister is different from ours, international relations are largely determined by their ideas, and if he does not nod, the French president will not be able to make up his mind to do this at the risk of diplomatic damage with China."

"Oh----" The ambassador looked at those people and nodded, agreeing with Fan Wuxi's statement, and then said to Fan Wuxi,

"The Taiwanese naval officers you saw should have come to inspect the goods."
